86 to 101: Kohli's final ODI window to break Tendulkar's century record

Virat Kohli is 15 centuries away from becoming the first batter to reach 101 international hundreds, with ODI cricket now his only route to Sachin Tendulkar's record. India have 11 confirmed bilateral ODIs before the 2027 World Cup, while the Asia Cup offers additional opportunities. A possible six-match South Africa series in the new FTP could give India further preparation before the World Cup, but the century chase remains a difficult one.
